To Whom It May Concern:
On May 22, 2006, EHS-International, Inc. (EHSI) issued a Post -Remediation Assessment Report
letter to Mr. Brian Joki, the homeowner of the private residence located at 24306 -90th Avenue West,
Edmonds, Washington. In the letter EHSI recommended that "the homeowner continue with the
replacement of window frames and replacement of materials with water damage."
On June 2, 2006, EHSI was informed by Mr. Joki that the following sentence in the "Discussions"
section of the letter, "[I]n Washington State it is necessary to have a structural pest inspector (SPI)
license to report the presence of dry rot. The presence of dry rot fungus, while not a health issue may
impair wood products to a point where safety issues become important" has been interpreted by the
City of Edmonds to mean that EHSI recommends that a pest inspection be performed at. :the .residence.
EHSI is not requiring or recommending that such an inspection be conducted. EHSI does recommend
that water -damaged wood products, as well as mold -affected windows and window, frames, be
removed and replaced as the next step in the renovation project.
EHSI is pleased to provide these professional industrial hygiene services. If you have any'questions
concerning this report or if EHSI can provide further services to you, please call me at (425) 455
2959.
